Overview The Design Engineer’s primary role is to support minor/major development projects involving the design and manufacturing of water heating products. Responsibilities Conceptualizes designs and analyzes/selects appropriate materials and processes. Performs engineering calculations, tolerance stack-ups, FMEAs on design concepts. Works with Designers to create models and drawings in AutoCAD and Inventor. May create own 3D models in Inventor. Researches and understands the basic requirements of appropriate manufacturing standards for components, subassemblies, and heaters. Performs components and heater cost analysis. Supports the creation of documentation (drawings, manuals, labels, literature). Supports production as needed. Researches and understands the applicable industry and government standards (CSA, CE, UL, NSF, ASME, etc.). Ensure products are compliant, through in-house testing before 3rd party testing. Works with Tech. Service, Quality and Warranty teams to resolve quality issues. Works with R&D Technicians to create test plans and perform tests. Evaluates testing results and determines next steps based on results. Will be working with all departments, Purchasing, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, Product Management, Tech. Service and Warranty throughout development cycle. Minor project management duties to ensure projects meet the timeline, project cost, performance, quality and safety requirements. Educational And Technical Requirements A Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or higher (0-5) years’ experience in a Mechanical Engineering/Product Design Environment. Sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles with practical, hands-on approach to analysis and problem solving Strong understanding of the following: heat transfer, fluid flow, thermodynamics combustion, heat exchanger design, multi-pass heat exchangers, pre-mix combustion systems, atmospheric combustion systems preferred appliance design, HVAC design preferred pressure vessel design, material selection preferred Ability to quickly grasp and implement new ideas, concepts, and programs to improve product and department efficiency. Experience in sheet metal, injection molding, machining and cast parts preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr
